Race - Ent
The Ents were given the guardianship of the trees and other floral life by the Vala Yavanna. They look outwardly similar to trees, and are about 14 feet tall, but have the gifts of speech and movement. They have extremely long lifespans and are extremely tough and strong. In the Elder Days, they were to be found in both sexes, male and female, the female of the species being called Entwives. The Entwives disappeared before the end of the Second Age, and today only the male Ents are known to exist on Thera.

An Ent is most commonly found in the forest and speaks a very slow and complex language of their own, with some elvish influence because it was the elves who first introduced them to the concept of speech. Ents are very protective of the forest and are not commonly seen because the concerns of the world outside the forest are of no interest to them. There are very few of them left anyway, and their existance is considered legendary by most other peoples of Thera. Some trees under the care of ents for a long time can start to become aware themselves, and able to move. These are called Huorns.
Ents are by their nature immune to disease, however as a result of the kinship they share with trees they dislike and are affected by any form of fire that they come in contact with. Ents have the uncanny ability to detect the presence of evil and magic at will and due to their huge size they can deal massive amounts of damage with multiple attacks from their branchlike limbs.

The skin of an Ent is hard like the bark of a tree, and affords the Ent some protection from physical damage. The largest weapon can be swept aside using a parry from a powerful limb.
